The Phoenix Suns have been a revelation in the NBA restart, and have a better shot at the playoffs than anyone thought possible.
The Phoenix Suns chances to make the NBA Playoffs entering the bubble were as low as 1000 to 1 on some betting sites (still kicking myself for not throwing a few bucks on that) as they were six games back of the 8th-seeded Grizzlies and needed to leapfrog four other teams in the western conference and finish within four games of the Grizzlies or whoever finished as the No.8 seed for the opportunity to beat them two days in a row to make the 2020 NBA Playoffs.
Incredibly, after a 5-0 start, the Suns now find themselves in a position where if they can go 8-0 in the bubble (imagine what kind of accomplishment that would be?) and have the Blazers lose one of their last two games or the Grizzlies lose their last two, they would actually be able to get into the play-in game.
At this point though all they can do is take it one game at a time and try to continue their winning ways against the Thunder on Monday.
With how well they are playing though, let’s just imagine for fun how they might fare and match up in a playoff series with all 16 current playoff teams:
